To be honest I had no idea that people from this instance were doing it until one troll post bragging about getting us banned from Beehaw and explained how he did it, along with a comic book supervillian diatribe about how the Fediverse isn't safe and long live Reddit.
The hell, lol… do you have a link to that post?
I saw the same post the comment above is referring to and their description is accurate. And I also saw the offending post they put on beehaw. Some low effort troll homophobic thing. Their posts on both beehaw and sh.itjust.works were both quickly down voted and removed I think, because I couldn't find either again shortly after I first saw it.
Damn... Yeah, to be honest, it makes me understand things from beehaw's perspective quite a bit, then.
The internet was a mistake
Who gets so weirdly defensive and territorial over a website? Not even their own one at that? I loved spending time on Reddit but I can't imagine finding other website and deliberately trying to make them a shittier place because I like Reddit.
I mean, the url literally contains shit.
If we can't say naughty words on lemmy I'll have to find something else. Can't there be a website with a middle ground between 4th reich HQ and baby preschool?
Sometimes it feels like the internet is in an unstable equilibrium. A space starts off as a blank slate, not pulled in any particular direction. Then as soon as it gets a critical mass of either miserable jerks or stuck-up prudes, it spirals in that direction until it's inhospitable to the average person.
